Tokyo Girlfriend Illustrated Book

"Anyway, that's it. I'll find you again tomorrow."

Mitsuha Miyamizu covered her mouth and the sound hole of her mobile phone with one hand and said that the reason why she did this was because there were a bunch of booing classmates and seniors sitting behind her.

"Huh? Let Hojo-san come over and play with you. I also want to see that handsome guy."

The girl sitting in the middle shouted loudly. Her sitting posture was impeccable. She was wearing an elegant kimono with a peony pattern and her hairstyle was also a classic Hime hair style. Ignoring the words in her mouth and the lazy expression on her face, she looked like a Chinese noblewoman.

"Ah, it's true, President, stop talking nonsense."

Mitsuha Miyamizu turned around and protested. These seniors usually seemed to be more educated than the other, but at times like this, they all started to behave nonsense.

"That's right, that's right. I took away Princess Ochanomizu who had charmed all the girls without saying a word. I must give everyone an explanation!"

The girl who spoke was also wearing a kimono, her hair was braided into long and thin braids, and black ribbons were tied into circles on both sides of her head. She was also dressed like a noble girl.

"You too, Vice President, stop using that shameful nickname, you are the Ochanomizu Witch's number one follower."

The corners of Sanye's eyes twitched slightly, and she really wanted to hang up the phone immediately. It didn't matter to me, but it was really shameful for Kyousuke to hear these words.

"I will never forgive you!"

"That's right! I won't forgive you! Unless I bring three, no, ten copies of the snacks that Kaori brought back last night, I can give you a chance to explain!"

"Ayumi, you are too hopeless. Didn't you hear what Kaori said? That Hojo-san's cooking level is the best in neon. Can just a few snacks satisfy you? Of course you want to eat Kaiseki cuisine. Ah, just in time to visit Sanye and their love nest."

"If you want to show off your culinary skills, of course it has to be sushi. You are worthless!"

"..."

Seeing that the external struggle had once again shifted internally, Miyamizu Mitsuba breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said to the phone:

"For hot pot, Kyousuke, please eat more for me. Next time you come to my house, make some for me."

"Hahaha, okay, Sanye, have fun too."

With Hojo Kyosuke's ears, of course he heard the voice over there, and he was naturally filled with joy that the girl could make so many friends.

If someone mistakenly thought that he wanted to go home and eat hot pot with other beautiful girls, so he refused to save Mitsuha Miyamizu, that would be too stupid. If there were only kendo club and baseball club activities today, he would rush to Ochanomizu Women's University without saying a word.

In front of many of Sanye's friends, she showed her affection openly and presented a sweet and shy sincere performance, allowing them to fully feel their love for Sanye. This is the obligation and responsibility that a man should fulfill, and there will never be any behavior such as not posting on Moments. After all, as early as the moment you fell in love, you should have had the awareness to have your rights halved and your obligations doubled.

Of course, preparations for the sports festival can't stop him.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, there were already many elementary school students playing in the vacant land beside the road that had not yet been built. It is difficult to see the so-called declining birthrate from Tokyo alone, but as long as you trace the hometown of those children, you can see it. All primary, middle and high school integrated schools cannot even recruit 100 people.

Looking at the children wearing sun hats playing dodgeball under the bright sun, Hojo Kyosuke, who was so hot that he took off his coat and was only wearing a white shirt, was thinking randomly in his heart.

The area where his home is located is so rich in educational resources that it makes people drool, with more than five options available from kindergarten to university. Public and private, boys' and girls' schools. Children living here can truly become childhood sweethearts starting from kindergarten. If I work harder, I can continue to work in this area.

However, there are disadvantages to the concentration of schools. It is better to spread them out.

"Researcher Hojo, how is the research on our time machine going?" A serious voice came from the front.

"Reporting to Director Yamauchi, a lot of progress has been made compared to before school."

Hojo Kyosuke looked away from the children and responded casually.

"Oh? Could it be that the string theory of space and time has been cracked?" Yamauchi Sakura turned around, her eyes widened, and she let go of the beautiful girls on the left and right with her hands, swinging them to intensify her shock.

"No, it's just me who knew about the need to study time machines. It can be said that this research has achieved great progress from scratch, which is really gratifying."

Hojo Kyosuke kept walking, wanting to overtake and walk to the front. Just now, the supermarket staff sent him a message, saying that the pre-ordered ingredients would be delivered soon.

"So, that's indeed a lot of progress. Then we have to crack the string theory of space and time. No matter what you need, you can ask the Service Department for help. We are your strong backing!"

Sakura grabbed someone who was trying to escape and said solemnly.

"Yes Yes Yes."

Listening to the conversation between the two, Yukinoshita looked puzzled at first, and then became speechless. Next to her, Glass pursed her lips and chuckled as usual. She had long been used to Sakura and Kyousuke-kun's impromptu performances.

The identities of the two people can be seamlessly switched from the space people in the M78 Nebula to the moles thirty meters underground. The plot ranges from a tragic woman suffering from Alzheimer's disease to a queen who loves only one person. And it is not a unit drama, but a series that will gradually form a setting.

For example, the current "Research Institute", the full name should be "The Fantasy Research Institute that strives to satisfy Yamauchi Sakura's personal opinions". You can tell from the name that it is very difficult to write it down. The reason why Glass was able to remember it was because this name had appeared many times, and even people around them were assigned corresponding settings.

"Sakura-san, if you want to study a time machine, the first thing to consider is not the space-time string theory, but the materials of the time machine. Although theoretical research is very important, a research should start from the entity first. The emergence of new materials will also It can provide follow-up funding for research..."

Yukinoshita shook her lips covertly, wanting to join in the conversation, but she ended up like this again. This made her feel distressed, but she could only bite the bullet and continue talking.

"I see, Researcher Hojo, downgrade! Yukinoshita Yukino, you have become the deputy director!"

There is a scale printed on her white coat and justice on her head. This is her, the absolutely fair and just Yamauchi Sakura.

"Will my salary be reduced?" someone asked.

"Asshole, you think I'm some kind of capitalist. We are a fantasy research institute. We can only rely on our imagination for wages and so on!" Sakura scolded angrily.

"Announcer Glass, remember to inform the entire office of this news."

"Yes, yes~~" Glass agreed happily.

Have I become the deputy director?

Yukinoshita paused. She never expected that in just one sentence, she could complete the entire process from entry to promotion. This speed is also famous in the family business. If her sister knew about it... No, no, This is simply a child's nonsense. Be clear and don't be led astray by Sakura.

Except for the two people who were looking at the clearing and the child at the same time, no one knew why there was this sudden role play.

While talking, Ruyi Liao was already in front of him.

As soon as he walked into the street, Yukinoshita saw the mansion behind the three red, yellow and blue one-family buildings.

This is……

25, Meshirodai 3-chome, Bunkyo-ku

There is an item that has been unsold for several years in a real estate house owned by my family's company. The buyer is Hojo Kyosuke. As a result, he came into his mother's sight, and his name was on the "brother-in-law candidate list."

She has read this information, and her mother would not avoid her sister when doing these things. My sister would also discuss the merits and demerits of these candidates with her mother calmly and calmly, as if it was not a major event in her life, but just a simple business project.

At the same time, my sister will not hide these things from herself. She will show them to her like a show off. She is afraid that she will not understand, but will explain them patiently.

"Oh, it's so frustrating. There are so many outstanding men and I don't know which one to marry. I really envy Xiao Yukino. It doesn't matter who you want to marry."

Every time at this time, Yukinoshita would stare at her sister's face carefully, trying to see a trace of reluctance under that charming and bright smile. But no, nothing.

My sister, who has been trapped in the cage of being called the heir by her mother since she was a child, seems to be really happy, happy that her future husband will be such an outstanding person.

The black-haired girl felt a little sad. If her sister was unwilling, then what would happen to her who wanted to inherit her father's business?

"Sakura-san, is your home the same place as Hojo Kyosuke's home?"

She is not stupid, she naturally figured it out when she got here.

"Ah, so that's it! Why didn't you tell me earlier, Kyosuke!" Yamauchi Sakura suddenly realized, turned around and began to criticize Hojo Kyosuke.

"Take your time, the people from the supermarket have already arrived at the door. I have to go and sign for it." Someone didn't mean to take the blame at all. He left these words and walked forward quickly.

"I'm going to help!" Glass smiled sheepishly at Yukinoshita and ran after him.

"Well~~ I'm right, this is my home. Kyosuke and Glass come to my house to play every day. I also go to their house to play every day.

However, this is the first time I went to a friend's house to play with three of them at once. You really made a lot of money, Yukino! "

Sakura opened her mouth, revealing her eight white teeth, and gave a standard thumbs up.

"..."

Sure enough, this man's brain was abnormal, and he should have been infected by Hojo Kyosuke. Why do you think so? Because Yukinoshita Yukino found that she actually agreed with Sakurara's words in her heart, and even thought like this:

"Sure enough, it's not my problem that I didn't have friends before. As long as I can meet normal people, I can even hang out at three friends' houses at once."

Yamauchi Sakura is so terrifying that even her determined self will be fooled.

"Okay, okay, isn't this just right? You can come to a friend's house to play and supervise Kyousuke's practice at the same time."

"That's true." Yukinoshita nodded. It just so happened that she didn't understand what exactly she needed to do to play at her friend's house. With Hojo Kyosuke, you can avoid the embarrassment of having nothing to do.

"Let's go, let's go, we're going to have hot pot tonight~"

"hot pot?"

"Yeah, let me tell you..."

…

“Ruyi Liao”

Standing in front of the black metal gate, Yukinoshita Yukino softly read the three words on the wooden watch.

"How about it? It's my name!" Sakura smiled and pushed open the courtyard door. The two people who entered before didn't lock the door.

"A beautiful name."

The black-haired girl's voice was unusually soft, and such a name that unabashedly expressed good wishes made her couldn't help but feel happy. I have never had such simple happiness in my life.

"Come in~" Sakura waved with satisfaction.

Yukinoshita had just raised her left foot to cross the courtyard door when a question came to her mind, "Excuse me, do you want to say it now or later when you enter the house?"

The article I read before didn't seem to mention anything like a courtyard gate.

Even this kind of thing can make her frown and struggle for a long time. The girl named Yukinoshita Yukino is such a person who insists on principles to the point of giving people a headache, and is so stubborn and ignorant that she is adorable.

In view of the joke he made before, Yukinoshita decided to sincerely ask Yamauchi Sakura for advice.

"Sakura-kun, what should I do now? Do I need to say 'excuse me'?"

Yamauchi Sakura turned around and looked at the seriousness and nervousness on the black-haired girl's face.

It's like a bipedal walking robot that has just woken up and entered human society for the first time. she thinks.

Looking at Yukinoshita like this, Sakura couldn't help but feel a little distressed, her heart softened, the smile on her face faded slightly, replaced with a gentle smile, and said seriously:

"Generally speaking, these social expressions need to be said when entering the house or entrance. But for friends like us, some unnecessary politeness can be omitted."

"I see." Yukinoshita nodded solemnly, not wanting to forget it again. Although she had no idea where else she would need to use this knowledge except in Ruyi Liao.

Walking into the yard and carefully closing the door, she raised her head and began to look at the house she had seen before.

When she was in junior high school, she came up with the idea of ​​​​helping her family solve business problems so that her mother would take her seriously. It was humble and high-quality, but it was the best she could think of at that time.

This property, which had been in the company's backlog for several years, naturally became her target. Needless to say, the final result is that such a house worth hundreds of millions cannot be sold by her without any connections. It would be about the same if it were her sister who has been taken by her parents to meet with various connections since she was a child.

Not only did the "genius" idea fail, but it also made her further aware of the gap between herself and her sister.

Sure enough, a house must be inhabited to become beautiful, Yukinoshita thought.

You can't actually see much from the front of the house, only the repainted white exterior walls and the tree crown in the direction of the courtyard, but she can feel it.

"Come in quickly, Yukino." Sakura greeted.

"Um."

After agreeing, Yukinoshita walked on the black stone road towards the door of the house. This kind of "popular" house, where you can feel the owner's care even on the bluestone pavement under your feet, is completely different from his empty apartment.

"excuse me."

She lowered her head slightly and shouted, then put on the disposable slippers Sakura handed her. But the shoe cabinet she saw at a glance made her frown. Before she could think about it, Sakura had already closed the shoe cabinet.

When you walk into the entrance, the first thing you see is a few boxes of ingredients piled at the door of the kitchen. It's hard not to notice that there are so many foam boxes of all kinds, and that Yamauchi Sakura is already yelling there.

"Oh, this sea bream is so big!" Sakura held up a big fish wrapped in plastic wrap with both hands and shouted exaggeratedly that it was so big.

"so big……"

Yukinoshita couldn't help but raised her head slightly, stared at the pink snapper and sighed. But as soon as the words came out, the expression on her face froze. It was just a relatively big fish. Why did she have to follow Sakura and say such stupid things. Only children will surround the big fish and shout happily, "It's so big, so big, so big," even though they didn't have that kind of childhood.

"Be careful with the water inside flowing out, it will be difficult to wash away the smell."

Hojo Kyosuke walked out of the kitchen and took the sea bream from Sakura's hand.

"But it's really beautiful. The boss said it was only delivered to the store this morning."

"I see, the time of death was no more than five hours." Sakura nodded with a serious expression.

Glass, who was unpacking other ingredients in the kitchen, couldn't help but smile bitterly. No matter how many times he heard Sakura and Kyosuke-kun's bad taste, it was still so unbearable.

These two people have no inhibitions at all. The broth can be said to be water soaked with sex, and the same is true for tea. Fortunately, he has restrained himself a lot now. It was the most serious situation in Watergate City, because although Aunt Mijiko was afraid of blood, she liked this kind of joke very much, and the three of them had a lot of fun talking about it every day.

"Is this a real sea bream?"

Yukinoshita stepped forward and saw the pink scales on the fish that looked like cherry blossoms. For the first time, she agreed with Hojo Kyosuke's words. The April sea bream is worthy of being called "Sakura sea bream". It is richer in oil and has a more beautiful appearance.

"Well, Yukinoshita, do you want to eat sashimi?" Hojo Kyosuke asked.

"Um?"

"Because people in our family rarely eat sashimi. If you don't eat it, I will use it all for hot pot."

Someone explained that sea bream has much less exercise than tuna and the like, the meat is not chewy enough, and the taste is bland. If he wants to eat sashimi, he will not buy this kind of fish.

"It's up to you to decide."

Yukinoshita replied, with a flash of surprise in her eyes. Listening to Sakura's words before, she thought it was Yamauchi Sakura who was in charge of the cooking. But now, I looked at the idiot squatting in front of the box, looking at the scallops and exclaiming "It's so big", and then looking at Kyosuke Hojo who had already carried the fish to the kitchen to process it.

She understood that when Sakura mentioned cooking by hand, she probably meant putting the ingredients into a hot pot and rinsing them.

But is it actually Hojo Kyousuke who is in charge of cooking? This was something she had never thought about. No matter what information she looked at, Hojo Kyousuke didn't look like a person who was good at cooking, but Nishimiya-san seemed to be a person who was good at cooking.

After hesitating for a moment, she asked: "Is there anything you need my help with?"

Although she is good at housework, she is actually not very good at cooking. After all, it would be a waste of time to cook alone.

"There is no reason to let the guests take action. Yukinoshita, just go over there and wait for a while."

Hojo Kyousuke responded with a smile, and then kicked Sakurara's butt:

"Stop playing around, wash your hands, and be responsible for entertaining Yukinoshita."

"You idiot Kyosuke, you kicked my ass!" Sakura shouted.

"I know, I did it on purpose."

"I'm talking about real ass!"

"I know... Idiot, since you are wearing a skirt, don't use that posture, Sir, learn from me!"

Hojo Kyousuke sighed. Although he was still wearing socks, he could really feel the smooth and elastic touch after recalling the feeling just now. As expected of me, my body has been developed by exercising with me since I was a child. It’s really great! A shameful pride arose in him.

"..."

Yukinoshita didn't know if it was an illusion, but it seemed like she shouldn't be here at this moment.

"aniki!!! You're finally back, I miss you so much!"

Momotaro, who had an error in his body control chip, ran over with his four legs swaying as if he didn't recognize his relatives.

Of course, these are words that only it and his aniki can understand (Momotaro is sure that his aniki can understand it, after all, he is an invincible aniki!). In reality, it becomes:

"嘤嘤嘤~~~"

Yukinoshita was still wondering what the sound was at first. As soon as she lowered her head, her face turned green with fright. She backed away like a teleport, and in a few flashes she had already run to the Japanese room, clinging tightly to the storage behind. cabinet, eyes fixed on the little furry thing on the ground.

The girl's pale blue eyes trembled in panic, she pointed her slender index finger at Momotaro, and asked in a trembling voice:

"Then, what is that?"

"Huh? This is a dog."

After washing her hands, Sakura tilted her head, and Momotaro, who was startled by the black-haired girl at his feet, also tilted his furry little head.

"Yes, the eldest sister is right, I am a dog."

"嘤嘤嘤~~"

"Of course I know it's a dog!" Yukinoshita's voice was still trembling.

"Oh, it's Momotaro, it's very cute."

Sakura raised Momotaro, who also chimed in.

"...Forget it, please keep me away from it anyway." Yukinoshita took a few deep breaths and said softly, as if she was afraid of disturbing the little white fur ball.

"Well, Xiao Yukino, please tell me. If you are afraid of dogs, I can let Momotaro play elsewhere. He is very obedient."

Sakura held Momotaro in both hands and shook him, as if showing off a stuffed animal.

"Hey, that woman, don't be too self-righteous. I, Momotaro, am here to see Aniki. I want to get close to you! Really, even though you can't understand what I'm saying, Eiri is much cuter than you!"

Momotaro protested loudly, never letting this woman touch his head!

"Although it is a dog, it is also a native of this house. I cannot cause trouble to it just for my own convenience."

Yukinoshita tentatively walked over cautiously, keeping her body as close to the sofa in the living room as possible:

"And! I, let me state first, I am not afraid of dogs! To be more precise, I have nothing to do with them! After all, you see...this is completely different from being afraid of dogs!"

"Hmph, woman, I think the title of the number one tsundere in Yingli Ruyi Residence is going to be given to you, but no way, only cuteness is tsundere, and a woman who hates Momotaro will never be cute!"

Momotaro's loud voice startled Yukinoshita again, and the three people next to him couldn't help laughing.

This person is really too reasonable. He should really let some vegetarians see what it means to be a true dog lover.

Hojo Kyousuke complained in his mind, then lowered his head to find the seasonings from the cupboard. The hot pot was Yuanyang hot pot as usual. He did not plan to use the bagged hot pot base for the spicy soup base, but planned to stir-fry it himself.

I hesitated for two seconds whether to fry in the yard or in the kitchen. Well, I only thought about it for half a second. Although the neighbors may be drooling with greed, it is better than filling the house with smell. The embarrassment of an open kitchen cannot be solved by a range hood.

"Momotaro, let's go."

Taking the necessary condiments, he called to his dog and walked to the courtyard. Outdoor stoves and other equipment were in the tool room.

Momotaro glanced at Yukinoshita Yukino with disdain, and then happily ran away behind Hojo Kyosuke.

"Sit down and take a rest."

Sakura, who was already sitting on the sofa, greeted her. She saw a thin layer of sweat forming on Yukinoshita's forehead. It's really an exaggeration. People are afraid of even a dog as small as Momotaro.

"Yes." The black-haired girl responded softly, but then she saw the smile on the other person's face and quickly emphasized:

"I'm not afraid of dogs!"

"Yeah, I know, I know~" Sakura-sama said casually. The world is a big place, and it can accommodate people who like dogs and people who are afraid of dogs.

"Yukishita-san, please have some tea." Glass brought three cups of tea, um, iced barley tea, neon treasures.

Phew~

Upon hearing this, Yukinoshita immediately stood up, took it with both hands and thanked her. I was so scared that my glass trembled.

"Relax, don't be so nervous, little Yukino, just think of this as your home." Sakura said quickly. She thought that this new friend of hers might be too nervous to be a guest at someone else's house for the first time.

"Um……"

If it were my family, it would be my turn to make the tea, and I would choose the tea strictly in accordance with your rank as guests. No, Sakura was probably talking about the apartment where she lived alone. Then...I should have put the bento in the microwave by now.

Thinking of this, Yukinoshita looked towards the courtyard outside.

A green meadow is dotted with various plants and rain flower stone paths. The green little maple tree, with its outstretched branches and leaves, seems to be waving hello to the people in the living room. The small garden in the middle, with hyacinths blowing in the wind...

There is a sign with unclear handwriting standing next to the pool, and the pattern of a goldfish can be vaguely seen. What attracts the most attention is of course the cherry blossom tree in the lower left corner of the courtyard and the boy tinkering with the stove below.

It's beautiful, warm, and like a home.

The girl thought so in her heart.

Although the lively fluffy puppy at Hojo Kyosuke's feet made her a little scared, it was this "brightness" that made her feel the breath of life.

The hand that was not holding the water glass gently stroked the sofa cover. It was not a high-end leather sofa like the one in the apartment, but a very ordinary fabric. It was made by hand, and she, who was proficient in housework, made a judgment immediately.

There are some weird gadgets placed in front of the huge LCD TV, and there are many CD boxes neatly placed in the cabinet below, which is completely unlike the TV at home that is used for decoration.

…

It turns out that other people’s homes are like this.

The girl thought so in her heart.

"Xiao Yukino, shall I show you around?"

Seeing Yukinoshita's appearance, Sakura said.

"Is this convenient?"

Among the tutoring lessons the black-haired girl received, they only included: "Don't look around in other people's homes", "Don't make requests that may cause trouble to the owner", "Don't mess with things in other people's homes", "Don't go to places where you are not sure whether you can go" ".

She kept it in mind, even though she never had the chance to use it.

"Haha, this is what you should do when you go to a friend's house." Sakura responded with a smile, then turned to look at Glass:

"Ni-chan, please use that to bring me two bags of snacks~"

Glass knew what it was as soon as he heard it, and knew that Sakura was about to show off. He pursed his lips and smiled, deciding to cooperate fully.

"Let's go, start with my room first."

Sakura stood up and stretched out her left hand towards Yukinoshita.

Walking up to the second floor, Yukinoshita saw a sign hanging on the door of all rooms. Closest to the stairs is a white lily, and to the left is a red rose. Before she had time to think, she was pulled to the end of the corridor by Sakura.

"Nitro-chan, it's time to start!" Sakura shouted downstairs.

A loudspeaker came from the machine. Looking at Yamauchi Sakura squatting next to a small cabinet, Yukinoshita thought for two minutes and understood what it was.

A food delivery elevator, or whatever it is called, is something that very few people install in their homes. It has only one function, to make children happy.

Looking at the smile on the face of the idiot squatting on the ground, she was convinced that this thing had completed its mission.
